ARCHIVED Enterolab Results In!
surrender replied to a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Scully, I agree with Rachel. If your biopsy came back negative, your blood work almost certainly would come back negative. Even if it came back positive, does it change your decisions?

When Christ was breaking bread with the disciples, he didn't say, "Take this bread -which must have gluten in it- and eat." This rule comes from the political realm of the Catholic church, and it could potentially change with a change in papacy.

For years I have been SOOO frustrated with my husband cuz he can't remember something we talked about 3 or 5 or 15 minutes ago. It's nice to realize there is a reason for it and that it may go away. Repeating myself over and over again drives me nuts!
